2002 Toyota Yaris 1.0L Petrol · LS02 AAO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 27 February 2026 at 131,160 miles passed with no recorded defects, following an initial failure just three days prior at 131,142 miles. This pattern suggests the current owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical issues to ensure compliance, and the lack of advisories across the last three successful tests indicates that the vehicle is currently operating in a clean mechanical condition despite its age. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,465 miles per year. Between March 2024 at 115,195 miles and March 2025 at 124,265 miles, the car covered 9,070 miles, representing a slight increase in usage compared to its historical average. However, the overall figure remains low. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components, brake seals, and fluid corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary regularly. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on structural integrity and the condition of rubber components. Given the vehicle's age, check the chassis and underside for surface rust or structural corrosion, which MOT tests do not always flag until it becomes significant. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking or per, as low-mileage cars often age regardless of distance driven. Since the most recent tests involved a failure followed by immediate repair, verify that the specific components addressed during those failures were properly rectified and are not showing signs of premature wear or leaking.
